DIVINE PROVIDENCE CATHOLIC SCHOOL Academic Excellence - Faith Formation - Character Development

Since 1956, Divine Providence Catholic School has provided a high-quality, competitive, and faith-based education for children in preschool through 8th grade. We are committed to preparing our students to contribute positively to an ever-changing global society by educating the whole child and developing both mind and heart.

The 2026 Spring Fling - Crusader Royale is our largest fundraiser for the academic year and builds both financial support for our school and a stronger community. Proceeds from the Spring Fling will be used to support an exceptional learning environment for our students in the form of academics, faith formation, school maintenance and security, and more.

Together, we can shape our future by investing in the Catholic education and development of our children.

Thank you for your generous support!

Divine Providence Catholic School’s Spring Raffle Official Rules

The Divine Providence Catholic School’s Spring Raffle (“Raffle”) is being conducted by Divine Providence Catholic School (“DP”), a not-for-profit 501c3 organization pursuant to the Illinois Raffles Act, 230 ILCS 15/0.01 et seq., and the Village of Westchester Municipal Code. All proceeds raised by the Raffle will benefit DP in fulfillment of its mission to foster the gospel message through education and service. The Raffle Official Rules and Regulations (“Official Rules”) are set forth below. By purchasing a Raffle ticket (“Ticket”), the purchasers acknowledge that they are aware of, and agree to be bound by, these Official Rules as interpreted and applied by DP in its sole discretion. DP’s interpretation and application of such rules shall be final.

1. Participants must be at least 18 years old to play and do not have to be present to win.

2. Ticket prices are $100.00 each, and participants can buy as many tickets as they want, subject to availability. All sales of tickets are final.

3. On each Ticket, the participant writes his/her full name (to match driver’s license or valid ID), home address, phone number, Ticket seller name, and any other information as requested on the Ticket. If a participant’s name and Ticket seller name are the same on the Ticket, then the participant is eligible to win a raffle prize and the corresponding seller incentive prize. If the Ticket seller name is left blank on the Ticket, then DP reserves the right to award itself the seller incentive prize.

4. Entries that are illegible, have been or appear to be altered are void. All contact information shall be legible on the Ticket including full name (no nicknames, abbreviations, or group names) and phone number. Only one person’s name may be entered on a Ticket. If the name of more than one (1) person is provided on a Ticket and that Ticket is selected as the winning Ticket, then the person listed first will be deemed as the holder of record of that Ticket and declared the winner. The division of any prize among a group of persons purchasing a Ticket shall be the sole responsibility of the person named as the holder of record of that Ticket should that Ticket be selected as a winner. DP is not responsible for resolving any disputes that may arise from different individuals listed on a winning Ticket. Neither DP nor its directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives assume any responsibility or liability for lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, incomplete, illegible or undelivered Tickets, or any other failure to receive Tickets, or any failure to deliver a Ticket prior to the Raffle deadline.

5. Check and/or credit cards that are returned for insufficient funds or denied will be subject to a $35 penalty, and the Ticket will be void until cash or a money order is received to cover said Ticket.

6. In the event that a minimum of 1,000 Tickets are not sold by April 17, 2026, DP reserves the right to withdraw the prizes and award a prorated amount, determined by DP in its sole discretion, for each prize.

7. Tickets will be accepted until 8:00 p.m. (CST) on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

8. The name of the holder of record of the winning Ticket (“the Potential Winner”) shall be announced at the drawing and shall be posted on DP’s website and Facebook Page. DP shall make three (3) attempts to contact the Potential Winner by calling the phone number on the Ticket.

9. The Potential Winner must claim his/her prize within 30 days of the drawing. If a Potential Winner does not claim his/her prize within 30 days of the drawing, or if the prize cannot be awarded for any other reason, then the prize shall be forfeited and the prize shall become the property of DP. DP will have the sole discretion to determine whether the Potential Winner is eligible to be the winner of the prize in accordance with these Official Rules (the “Official Winner”). As a condition of his/her right to collect a prize and become an Official Winner, any Potential Winner must deliver to DP: (a) the Ticket receipt and/or proof of identity in forms satisfactory to DP showing that the person claiming the prize is the holder of record of the winning Ticket; (b) such written information as is required by any applicable tax and/or other laws, including, without limitation, Social Security Number; (c) if required by law, a completed IRS Form W-2G, Illinois Form 5754 or similar tax form (provided by DP) for tax withholding purposes which must be completed and received by DP before the prize will be paid.

10. The name of the seller of the winning Ticket (“the Potential Incentive Winner”) shall be announced after the Official Winner of the raffle prize is declared and shall be posted on DP’s website and Facebook Page. DP shall make three (3) attempts to contact the Potential Incentive Winner by calling the phone number on the Ticket.

11. The Potential Incentive Winner must claim his/her prize within 30 days of the drawing. If a Potential Incentive Winner does not claim his/her prize within 30 days of the drawing, or if the prize cannot be awarded for any other reason, then the prize shall be forfeited and the prize shall become the property of DP. DP will have the sole discretion to determine whether the Potential Incentive Winner is eligible to be the winner of the prize in accordance with these Official Rules (the “Official Winner”). As a condition of his/her right to collect a prize and become an Official Incentive Winner, any Potential Incentive Winner must deliver to DP: (a) proof of identity in forms satisfactory to DP showing that the person claiming the prize is the seller of record of the winning Ticket; (b) such written information as is required by any applicable tax and/or other laws, including, without limitation, Social Security Number; (c) if required by law, a completed IRS Form W-2G, Illinois Form 5754 or similar tax form (provided by DP) for tax withholding purposes which must be completed and received by DP before the prize will be paid.

12. Non-Deductibility of Ticket Purchase: The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in raffles, lotteries or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts, and consequently, the purchase of a Ticket does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.

13. All winners are solely responsible for the payment of any and all taxes. The Official Winner and the Official Incentive Winner may be required to pay withholding tax in an amount required by IRS regulations and IDOR.

14. DP shall withhold a portion of the prize as required by the IRS, federal or state law.

15. Prize amounts will be paid by check.

16. DP reserves the right to amend these Official Rules upon ten (10) days’ notice provided pursuant to an update provided on DP’s website or otherwise posted at the event location.

17. These Official Rules cannot be changed by any oral statement made by any person acting on behalf of DP. By entering the Raffle, each Raffle participant accepts and agrees that DP may use the Raffle participant’s name, photograph, likeness, statements, or voice for promotional or advertising purposes in all forms of media, now or hereafter known, in perpetuity, without review, permission or further compensation, except where prohibited by law.

18. By purchasing a Ticket and choosing to participate in the Raffle, each Raffle participant acknowledges and agrees that DP has the right, in its sole discretion, to elect not to proceed with the Raffle for any reason whatsoever or for no reason.

19. Odds of winning when selling a minimum of 1,000 tickets are one in three hundred thirty-three (1:333). If less or more tickets are sold, then the odds of winning are dependent on the number of tickets sold.
